Stefon Diggs has helped put the New England Patriots in this position.

The Pats signed Diggs in the offseason to give a true No. 1 wide receiver for Drake Maye, and he's been that whenever asked to be.

The Patriots now head into the final two weeks of the regular season with the chance to claim the AFC East Division title.

In the process, Diggs can earn himself some extra money.

Diggs has two separate contract incentives that he's approaching. Each is worth $500,000.

The star WR would get $500K if he reaches 1,000 yards on the season. He's currently at 869.

He's also get $500,000 for making 80 catches on the season. Diggs currently has 76.

There are two games to reach these marks.

The Patriots play the lowly New York Jets on Sunday. In Week 18, they take on the Miami Dolphins.

Both of those are winnable games that Diggs can put up numbers in.

And if he gets those specific round numbers, he can go home with potentially an extra $1 million.
